AN ANALYSIS OF THE MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SYSTEM
Abstract
This is a study of the various factors associated with maintenance of Naval training devices. The basic processes are first described. Significant variables are then identified and defined; their interrelationships are developed; and the effects of selected maintenance decisions, via the relationships, upon lost training hours are traced. The costs associated with each decision are also identified, and decision rules are developed to aid in determining the effects of selected maintenance decisions upon cost and upon lost training. Information gathered from field interviews, questionnaires, maintenance logs, and data files is used in the development of the relationships. Several examples are presented to indicate how the study results can be used. Finally, specific recommendations are made, based upon both the experience gained during the study and the results obtained, concerning methods for reducing lost training hours at least cost.
